The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Factory Primer: Red Oxide and Black

I’ve seen this same treatment in the Advance Design trucks also, that is, red oxide primer on the cabs.
And Bill, isn’t red lead (trilead teroxide) the same thing as red oxide primer? It was the pigment in red oxide primer. It is little used today as a rust preventative primer. It was also widely used on structural steel in the building industry and in electric motors, (not the same as Glyptal which does not contain red lead).
